And 153325 & 153333 Are now part of the FGW Fleet, Based out of Exeter depot - And from what ive noticed, if you want either 325 or 333, then you'll certainly find them hanging around the Exeter & Bristol areas, as they seem to do!

Has anyone seen or got a shot of 325 and 333 coupled together with FGW? That would be good.
There's a couple of things around the internet, like this shot at Newton Abbot (Not my photo):

Also, now that FGW have received a number of former LM 150s, there are occasions when 153325 and 153333 are working in formations with the same 150s, in the same liveries, as they were doing in the West Midlands before they got transferred!

That would make a nice pic along the sea wall!

Here's a pic of 150108 in Central Trains livery coupled to 153333 in London Midland livery. Destination is Worcester Shrub Hill.

At first glance, this could easily be a London Midland sevice but, as the location is Bristol Temple Meads, it is in fact First Great Western...

And here's 153333 between two FGW units...

The 143/153/150 combo was due to run to Bristol after this pic was taken.
